A California judge has ordered a middle school teacher associated with aviolent-wing of Antifa to pay thousands to a former conservative studentat the University of California, Berkeley.

What happened?

On Thursday, an Alameda County Superior Court Commissioner orderedYvette Felarca to pay former Berkeley College Republicans leader TroyWorden $10,000 in attorneys’ fees and $1,100 in court fees over herbotched attempt to get a permanent restraining order against him,according to The Berkeleyside.

Commissioner Thomas Rasch said Felarca’s actions were not done in goodfaith.Felarca — a national leader in the group By Any Means Necessary, whichproudly uses violence — filed for a temporary retraining order againstWorden last September, alleging he was stalking and harassing her.

She later filed for a permanent restraining order in October, butwithdrew the application on the day of the hearing. The action madeWorden the “prevailing party entitled to receive lawyer and court fees,”according to The Berkeleyside.

How did Worden’s attorneys respond?Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer at the firm representing Worden, told CampusReform:Felarca and her fellow travelers in BAMN [By Any Means Necessary]/Antifaneed to learn that the California courts are not their personalplaything to use and abuse at will by filing baseless and vexatiouslawsuits.

This marks the second time in two months that Felarca and her lawyershave been ordered by an area court to pay the attorney fees of theiropponents for filing legally and factually unsupported claims in court.True victims of harassment/stalking/ assault need the courts to beavailable to them as a priority, not clogged with fabricated claimspursued in bad faith.Another attorney representing Worden, Mark Meuser, added: “By rulingthat Yvette Felarca did not demonstrate good faith in filing therestraining order, the court recognized the frivolous nature ofFelarca’s actions. The award of attorney fees should send a strongsignal that she cannot abuse the court system to silence speech.”Meruser also told the Berkeleyside that the award was just a fraction ofthe actual work he put into the case. He says he’s really owed $178,600for the case, but Rasch said the amount was unreasonable.How did Felarca’s attorney respond?

Shanta Driver, the attorney for Felarca and BAMN, said the award forattorneys’ fees was too high and set a bad precedent for a woman seekingrestraining orders in the future. She also accused the judge of beingpartisan.“This verdict was based on the judge’s decision to support the politicalviews of Troy Worden and the alt-right and that is not acceptable,”Driver said, according to The Berkeleyside.Driver also vowed to appeal the ruling.What about Felarca’s past?According to The Berkeleyside, she is due in court twice more inJanuary. First, she has to attend a pretrial hearing for felony incitinga riot charges stemming from a June 2016 riot in Sacramento. Then, she’sslated to answer for various misdemeanor charges stemming from heractions at a protest in Berkeley last September.
